Packing up the pictures in an old shoe box
  It's so silent I can almost hear you walk
  Down the hall standing in front of that window
  If heaven is so high, then why are you so low?
  Does it feel, that you're taking back the love that made him real
    In the darkness you will always see his face
  And I could never take the place of him
  Today I'm sleeping in
    Woke up it's too late and I should be in school
  There's always something wrong when you ignore the rules
  Never want to see myself in front of that window
  Sucking up your tears, didn't want to let me know too much
  Reaching out your hand for one last touch
    Take me with you, everybody here is fake
  And I don't wanna feel the same when you give in
  In a lifetime, time will always take our place
  But I will lay here shielded from the pain
    This is a long time from today
  You gave me all that I could take
  And gave me strength to carry on
    In the darkness, you will always see his face
  And I don't wanna be there when you do, give in
  In a lifetime, time will always take our place
  And I will lay here shielded from the pain
    I do whatever I want, you never let me down
  I always know when lost somehow you're found
  Although life has all thse consequences now
  And that's OK, and that's OK
